Interesting Information Furnished by

Interesting Information Furnished by q
United States Army Officer.
Most company officers try to get
their men mounted on horses which
are all of the same color, and in every
regiment we have troops of black,
gray, roam, bay and sorrel horses.
Bay horses are the easiest procured,
and consequently you will find several
troops of this color in each regiment.
Blacks and grays are not so easy to
get, and it is almost impossible to get
roam troop. CAPTAIN Wood, of the
Fourth Cavalry, has the finest troop in
the service. the horses are all magnifi-
cent iron-grays, and it has taken him
a long time to get them together.
The regiment is proud of this troop.
and the officers always give way to
Captain Wood when fine gray horse
is purchased, so he can select it for his
company. When a horse is first
bought for the service he is designated
by number branded on his hoof, but
as this soon wears off, he is allowed to
be named by the soldier to whom he is
assigned. Some troops have uniform
system of naming their horses;
thus all of the horses belonging to B
troop of the Fourth Cavalry have
names commencing with the letter B.
A great deal of attention is given to
the cavalry horses; they are carefully
groomed and regularly fed on the very
best hay and grain which the Govern
ment can procure. The horses are re-
tanned in service just as long as they
remain sound and in good condition.
When they begin to fail in strength,
become blind or get crippled. they are
condemned by board of army Off
GERS, and are sold at auction to the
highest bidders. Some horses remain
in the service for many years. l have
known of horse which was perfectly
sound after twenty years service in
one troop. Not few horses are con-
demned soon after being bought. for.
although they have the appearance of
being all right, a short test shows that
they have not the endurance necessary
for hard work. In long campaign
animals suffer greatly at times for
want of forage and water, but in time
of peace the cavalry horse may be said
to occupy as enviable a position as any
reasonable horse could desire.

DROPPING TO PIECES.
a Man Who Pulls OF His Own Finger,
Toes and Ears.

- IAan w Ho On own F11S0fev
Toes and Ears.
An odd case of human wretchedness
has been reported by Justice John
Lawns and Constable Frank Little,
who had just returned from trip to
Chickasaw bayou. On a plantation
near the bayou they found negro
man who had been farmer until in
capacitated by disease from working.
He first attracted their attention by
hobbling about on the stumps of what
| should have been his feet, and ex-
hibited hands which were without fin
gers or thumbs.
Too much accustomed to the sight of
queer deformities in persons of the
negro race they simply glanced at him
and would have passed if the I'M
fortunate African had not deliberately
unwrapped bandage about one of his
hands and carelessly caught the re-
naming stump of finger between his
knee and the wrist of his other hand.
and, with the utmost nonch alance,
pulled the stump off He threw it
away and again put his disfgured
arms in his bandages. He then
scratched considerable portion of his
fortably at rest on the shady side of
the fence.
The peace officers recovered their
equanimity after few seconds and
held a consultation. They were not
sure that if they disturbed the man
that they would not unjoint himself
entirely, and not wishing to be the
cause of such a catastrophe they wait
ed until he had time to grow quiet be-
fore they questioned him.
The curiosity started to lie at first,
but Justice LAWNS put him on his oath
to tell the truth and stopped this. The
story told was that about six months
ago the victim noticed that his fingers
and toes were becoming cramped and
numb. He paid no attention until one
day in using his index finger as a
stopper for his pipe he broke it off in
the bowl. He was alarmed and threw
the pipe away, and as he did so parted
with another finger. Panic-stricken,
he fled to his home and had voudoo
doctor attend to him. The treatment
he received did not benefi him, and he
continued to lose his fingers and toes
until he became hardened to it, and of
late when he found one growing too
dry he would pull it off One of his
feet was gone, and the toes of the other
were missing. The last finger he pos
sessed was the one his audience saw
him remove. and he had stripped near
~ all the calloused flesh from one shin.
He further stated that he never felt
pain.
After he finished the listeners were
inclined to doubt. and on the promise
of a two-bit piece the darky camly
pulled off portion of his left ear,
which he said was oying very rapidly,
and would fall away in a few days
anyhow. He did not seem particularly
frightened at his condition, as he
thought he had enough legs and arms
to last year or two longer at the
worst.
None of the mans friends were able
to explain how he contracted his dis
ease, and the man did not know him
self The gentlemen who were treated
to the sight of his condition were also
unable to tell what his trouble is, but
are inclined to believe that it is some
thing of the nature of leprosy or
elephantiasis. - Vicksburg Herald
